Prediction: 1-2

Benfica

Despite being considered hot favourites to win the Primeira Liga trophy few weeks ago, the Eagles are only one point clear of their bitter rivals Porto in the standings ahead of Matchday 22. After suffering a 3-2 defeat in O Classico, Benfica were beaten by Sporting Braga in their last league match, but it has to be noted that their dominated their last league match.

Seeing that Benfica failed to turn their dominance into goals against Sporting Braga, we predict that they are going to pick up all three points from Monday’s football game against Gil Vicente. The hosts are stuck in the middle of the standings ahead of the visit of Benfica, meaning that they little have little to play for in the opening match of round 22. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Carlos Vinicius, who was more than unfortunate not to find the net in the 1-0 loss to Braga.
